Protocol Amendment Database Impact Agent

Update the database to match an amendment with every change mapped and tested

Protocol Amendment Database Impact Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A protocol amendment adds a visit and changes a lab window, and weeks later someone notices the forms and checks were not updated. This agent compares the old and new protocol text and lists every change: new or removed visits, assessments, windows, eligibility criteria, lab ranges and dosing rules. It maps each change to its place in the database: case report forms, edit checks, coding and derivations. It drafts the changes to the specification and the edit checks, and tests them in a test environment with test data, including edge cases at the window boundaries. If a test fails, it fixes and retests. The manager approves migration of the changes to production. Edge case: an existing subject is mid-study, so the agent drafts how old data will map to the new version.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It maps each protocol change to the database item it affects and requires a passing test for each before it recommends migration.

  • List every visit, assessment and window change
  • Test each edit check at the boundary and one step either side
  • Require a data mapping plan for enrolled subjects
  • Treat any eligibility change as a priority review

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Specification template
  • Test case format
  • Edit check naming
  • Subject mapping rules
  • Sponsor review step

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Manager approves specification changes
  • Manager approves production migration

Hard limits

  • Test everything in a test environment, never in production
  • Never migrate without approval

It stops when

  • Done: all tests pass and the migration plan is approved
  • Stop: the amendment is ambiguous and the sponsor must clarify

An example run

What happensAmendment 3 added a week-6 ECG and widened the lab window from 3 to 5 days. The agent listed 9 changes and mapped them to 4 forms and 6 edit checks. In testing, the window check failed on day 5 because the old limit was still in a derivation, so the check failed. It fixed the derivation and the tests passed. The plan covered 112 enrolled subjects, and the manager approved.
